Tourists going 'round the world are best off with a 559 tire size, which are available everywhere. China, India, the middle of Africa, South America, North America, Europe. You might not be able to get the perfect tire but you can get a tire that will get you to somewhere that can provide you with the tire of your choice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
